《Kenosis of the Light Bearer》Chapter 11 - Ambrosia
Advertisement
This seemingly ordinary girl turned out to be quite vicious. She pulled the guards intestines from his stomach and gouged out his eyes. Lucifer shivered at the scene, he was ruthless but compared to these women he was a saint.
Hell hath no fury like a woman wronged.
This girl was only 14 years of age but she was already quite stunning. She had curves developing in all the right places and she had beautiful blonde hair and pink eyes. Her pink eyes were something Lucif had never seen before. Not a single person on earth had ever been born with pink eyes, but this world had surprised him so much already it barely fazed him.
He tried to help her up but she was scared of him, she was still young and hadn’t learnt of the matters between man and woman but had already experienced it before her understanding had reached the appropriate level. And she had experienced it in such a violent matter.
She stared at him with fear filled eyes but there was nothing he could do to rid her of her fear. It would take time for her to interact with males again. For someone to lose their innocence this way was a terrible thing.
‘What the fuck is wrong with this world?’ Lucif couldn’t help but scream inside his head. Rape happened on earth, sure… But it wasn’t a culture like it was here, for it to be so common made him frustrated.
To outsiders it would sound weird for a big bad mafia boss like this to hate rape so much when he has no problem killing people. But the truth is, he himself was raped by his own father. It’s what led him to killing when he was only a young boy.
It warped his personality to the point where he viewed rape as a greater crime than murder. It made him sick to his stomach. When he caught his son and his son’s girlfriend drugging and raping the maid he beat them both bloody. It was to the point where he no longer recognized his own sons face. In fact, this was what led to his eventual death. That moment had birthed the seeds of hatred in his sons heart.

It was his own fault that he let his son be a unrestricted tyrant like he was. And after his death, the Pivac Mafia would be passed on to him. Under his leadership the Pivac Mafia surely fell into ruin.
Aruna brought the girl back to their house, “Eat this…” Lucif held out some butter chicken for her. It was cold but the flavor was still there. She wouldn’t take the box and left Lucif holding the box out looking like a fool but he didn’t mind. He whispered something to Aruna and then she grabbed the box, opened it and started helping her eat. Her eyes widened when she tasted it and she started to furiously chomp down on the meat and rice.
“What’s your name?” Aruna asked.
“Am…Ambrosia, it means elixir of life.”
“Hmm, what a beautiful name. My name is Aruna and this is my little brother Lucifer.”
“A..ru..Lu..”
“Do you like the food?”, Aruna smiled and tried to comfort her.
“Very much….T….thank you…Thank you for … saving me”
She slowly got more comfortable around Aruna but still unhesitatingly avoided Lucifer’s gaze.
Tonight it started to rain, it started with a soft drizzle that gradually grew into a downpour. During his time on earth he loved the cold drenching rain. Through all the hustle and bustle of everyday life, the killing and scheming against his enemies, the thieving and manipulating of the competition he could always find comfort in the rain. The cold tears of heaven calmed his mind, body and soul. He reached out his hands to caress the rain when Aruna suddenly spoke.
“Don’t touch the rain, it burns.”
Lucif’s hand suddenly stopped in place and a look of disappointment covered his face. “Damn pollution.” He muttered to himself.
When the rain would wash over his head and drench his hair, it would clear his mind and help him think clearly. Now one of his only pleasures in life had been taken from him. “Curse this world!”

Ambrosia spent the night cuddled up to Aruna, she had no family left alive so Aruna asked Ambrosia to move in, in which she silently agreed to. The night came and went. Ambrosia and Aruna made their way to work while Lucifer went on his own way. Ambrosia worked at a factory also, but it was bit closer than Aruna’s job. They were in the same direction so they decided to walk together.
Not long after the mines entrance came into view, “Eh you damn brat, why are you making an old man wait so long?” Oddly enough Buck was waiting outside for him to arrive.
“Long? It’s not even 9 o’clock yet.”
“Pfft, everyone knows that it’s better to be 3 hours early than 5 minutes late. Let’s go!” It seemed like Buck was incredibly eager to find out if Lucifer was superhuman or not.
As Lucif drew closer he noticed that the boss was with him, along with 3 or 4 other miners he knew. They were all good guys in Lucif’s opinion. A bit rough around the edges but their characters were good. They made their way up the stairs to the office and through a metal door that led into the mountain side.
They passed through another door and found themselves inside a great hall. In the middle of the great hall was something like an obstacle course. “Okay kid, let’s get your stats first and then we can start running some test.”
They guided Lucifer to a scale where it measured his weight, height and age.
ID: 666
Name: Lucifer Akira
Weight: 48.98 kg
Height: 139.7 cm
Age: 12.99
“Age: 12.99, Hoho kid, you didn’t tell me it was your birthday tomorrow.” He slapped his back and laughed happily.
“That’s because I didn’t know.” Even Lucifer was slightly surprised by this. He had never celebrated his birthday in his past life. He didn’t even know if he had done so in this life either. He had no recollection of such memories. But it made sense now that he thought about it. They were poor so how could he celebrate a birthday?
They continued on to the next test, it was a simple one. He had 5 different targets all at different heights. The goal was to hit them one by one from lowest to highest over and over again using only your feet. He wasn’t unfamiliar with this test as he had done it in his past life.
It was arranged in a way, specifically to train the spinning tornado kick. He stepped back and then ran forward before hopping and spinning.
“Huh, what’s he doing?”
Lucif’s body twisted in the air, his foot slammed the lowest target and his other foot span and hit the second. His body completed a full turn, his left leg landed on the ground and he kicked off. Usually he could complete the movement in one go but he wanted to converse energy because he had to repeat the move so many times.
His legs once again span around and he hit the third and fourth targets consecutively before smashing the last target with his heel on the return. His feet landed on the ground, his body still moving from the twisting momentum before he span and started from the bottom once again. Over and over again he continued to kick until he fell over from dizziness.
Tick..tick..tick, the time finished and Lucif slowly gathered his balanced before standing up. But his head was still turning. ‘Damn, this test was pretty hard. It was only a minute of spinning kicks but it’s already got me feeling like this. How hard will these next levels be?’
The workers and the boss were shocked, “What the hell was that?”

Adventurer Book II - Dawn of an Empire Short story prequel- The Lurking Lair: An Adventuer Series Short Story Summary for the LitRPG savvy reader: Looking for a LitRPG that is more tabletop traditional role playing game and less MMORPG? This is probably your cup of tea. Long term progression with a heavy slice of life element. Strong mix and inclusion of ancient Greek life, values, and myths. Hence, the world can be a bit more harsh and brutish than modern sensibilities. The system is tangible and knowable beyond the MC's insights.

Up until this point, the only thing I have written of comparable length has been non-fiction and related to history. I am immensely grateful to all the folks who have given me feedback and helped me improve my writing.

Rifts of War
The visions. It was they that told us about our future. They said that we were the true rulers of the world, the spreaders of light, the guardians of the rightious path. The visions gave us signs of a bright new world, one united under a single banner of light. All those who opposed us suffered and here we stand on the top, watching over the world. We thought it would last forever, but we thought wrong. The visions once again spoke to us and gave us insight, but not to glory or power. They spoke of a terrible fate. An enemy from beyond the realm, one that wishes to destroy us all, one that threatens to bring about the end of the light and usher an age of darkness. As its guardians, we could not allow that. And so we decided to strike. Our armies and our mages gather at the great rift that connects our world. No one knew what we would find. Treasures? Rich land? Savage beasts? There was only one way to find out. A/N: The story starts out pretty quick and I know people will say this is a "military p*rn" but that's only the beginning. I really do have much more planned for this book so I can make a true 'war of the worlds' type of deal. So stick around and enjoy
